Hotels With Bars in Penang, Malaysia

First time staying here and I really like this hotel. Everything feels clean, new and modern. I especially love the little details, like the cups they use and the lighting in the room. The bathroom mirror light turns on automatically when you walk in, which is really convenient. They also provide complimentary coffee and some snacks outside. Overall, a very comfortable and pleasant stay. 😊 You can really tell that they put thought into the little details, which made the stay even more enjoyable.

Had a great stay here! Easy to check in at receptionist, come with 4 person for breakfast. All services and amenities are good. It's Charlie season, and I’ve already spotted a few Charlies in the toilet. Stay alert. Have free parking spot from level 2-6 (need to validate every time want to go out at receptionist) If you come with family, advisable to bring plastics/any cover to cover the translucent glass for bathroom. Location wise i gave 3/5 a bit far from tourism attraction, restaurant and shops. overall 9/10

The environment is very comfortable, and we were kindly upgraded to a sea-view room for free. However, there was a lot of dust on the toilet lid, which makes me reasonably suspect they only upgraded us because the room had been vacant for too long. The shower and the toilet share a single sliding door, just like the main bathroom door—there are no handles, making them very difficult to open and close. The small balcony is lovely. The hotel is close to the beach (with amusement facilities) and a major road, so noise is inevitable, but it's very convenient for going out to find food. The architecture and scenery are truly beautiful.

Lovely hotel; the pictures on the booking looked AI but were genuine. Nice rooms all sea facing. The staff were all Lovely and welcoming. There is a free shuttle service, that we used. Although returning to hotel there are frequent local buses that are a steal; 2.8 ringgit for 2 people from Batu Ferringi, that's is less than one of His Majesty's pounds. My daughter and I loved Penang and I will probably comeback next year with my wife.

This is the current condition of the room. booked it based on the reviews and photos we saw. , I would like to highlight a few things regarding the room. First, the room I booked looks quite different from the room I was given. The photos shown during the booking showed an outdoor view and a different room setup, but the actual room I received is quite different from what I saw in the booking photos. Also, the room does not have any soap or shampoo, and it is not as clean as I expected. The cups were also not properly washed. No tea and cofee When I first entered the room, I also noticed a strong smell, something like massage oil or medicated oil.

Our stay at PARKROYAL Penang Resort was absolutely wonderful, and we couldn't have asked for a more memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel genuinely welcomed and well looked after. The hospitality, attention to detail and warmth of the staff made such a difference to our stay. Every interaction felt thoughtful and sincere, and it was clear that the team takes great pride in creating a beautiful guest experience. We were especially touched by the kindness shown to us during a particularly meaningful time. The complimentary cake and wonderful room upgrade. These little details meant more to us than words can express. The resort itself is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable and inviting, the facilities are excellent, and the overall atmosphere makes it incredibly easy to relax and unwind. The location is also fantastic, making it a wonderful base for exploring Penang Breakfast was an absolutely divine spread with fresh and various selection. What truly sets PARKROYAL apart, however, is its people. It is one thing to provide beautiful accommodation, but quite another to make guests feel remembered, valued and genuinely cared for. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special. We left with beautiful memories and every intention of returning. PARKROYAL Penang Resort has certainly earned a special place on our list of favourite stays in Penang. Highly recommended!

The location was about 15-20mins away from town, hotel is new, room is very spacious, services is great as well. Only for few things to comment, the qiblat direction is wrong and it was really concerning if muslims did not do their checking first. Also, toilet abit smelly because of the drainage i think. These issues has been addressed to the management during my check out. Hopefully, they had take necessary action to avoid this kinda thing from happened again in future. Overall, it was a good experience indeed.

Arrived in Penang on a late-night flight, and by the time we got there, it was already dark. We specifically chose M Social Resort as a transit hotel for a one-night stay. Compared to other beach resorts in Penang, M Social’s facilities and hardware/software are relatively new, the price is reasonable, and they offer a Family Sea View Room (which accommodates 4 people and has a huge balcony). There is a nightclub right in front of the hotel—the kind with ”clubbing boom boom boom” music. By crossing the pedestrian bridge to the other side, there is a Cantonese seafood restaurant. Even with a late-night flight arrival, we were still able to get a hot Chinese meal 🥢. They have a swimming pool, beach access, and a gym—everything is covered. ❌ Cons: There is no self-service coin laundry. Paid laundry service takes 1-2 days to be returned (outsourced to an external laundry service), so it's not suitable for long stays. If you are looking for a brand new 5-star beach hotel with Chinese food nearby, this is the one to choose.

Had a great stay here. The hotel is nice, clean, and comfortable, but what really stood out was the service. The staff were all so friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. You could really feel that they genuinely cared about making guests feel comfortable. Service was very attentive especially front desk Nicholas and great location as well. Really appreciate the hospitality that made our stay special. Definitely a place I’d be happy to come back to. Highly recommended! 😊

The hotel's public areas are quite good, much better than Parkroyal. It felt very clean walking around inside, especially compared to the dusty streets outside, it was definitely a pleasant contrast. However, by the time I arrived to check in, it was already 3:40 PM. After completing the check-in process, the South Asian front desk attendant said there were no rooms available and I'd have to wait. When I asked how long, he couldn't give a clear answer, and when I asked if it could be done within half an hour, he still said he wasn't sure. I pointed out that the check-in time was 3 PM and not having a room was unreasonable. There was no apology or offer of compensation either. They just directed me to the lounge, where there were some small pastries and desserts (very limited selection), and they didn't even pour a glass of water. My flight was delayed by an hour, and then the Grab ride took another five or six hours, so I was extremely tired. Not being able to check in was really infuriating. While walking around the public area, I suddenly thought of contacting the platform's customer service. The customer service representative understood the situation and immediately helped resolve it. Less than two minutes after I returned to the lounge from contacting customer service, the front desk informed me that a room was available. Thank you, Trip.com customer service representative! Still, I'm quite speechless about the hotel's conduct. Moreover, when we entered, there was another pair of Chinese ladies waiting there, and when we left, it seemed they still hadn't been attended to. (I wonder if it's just a coincidence that only Chinese guests were made to wait, or if it was intentional.)
